Adam Yates wins Clasica San Sebastian

The Orica GreenEDGE rider, whose twin brother Simon also rides for the same Australian team, moved clear of the pack in the final climb, a steep ascent seven kilometres from the finish, and never looked back.





The 22-year-old held off a group of chasing riders to cross the finish line first, but was initially unaware he had won the 219-km race.

Belgium's Philippe Gilbert was second and Spain's Alejandro Valverde was third, both 15 seconds back.
